DMZ

In the near-future landscape of a second American Civil War, DMZ (2007–2013, Panini Deutschland) follows a young journalist stranded in the demilitarized zone of Manhattan. This 13-issue series, associated with writer Brian Wood and artist Riccardo Burchielli, offers a gritty, war-zone perspective on urban survival and media ethics. Its stark, grounded vision of a divided New York remains a powerful, prescient take on conflict and propaganda.
